Opalescent (2022)

Program Notes

Opalescent was written for the Curtis Symphony Orchestra and premiered asynchronously in the spring of 2021. It was originally paired with choreography reacting to the the play of color or iridescence of an opal stone. In a short, one-movement burst, the piece channel surfs between the three different types of opals: common, precious, and fire; and their individual reactions to light.
